Help with vitamins and dusting!

[LundqvistNYR]

Im wondering if im coating them to much? I dust his crickets without d3 everyday. And today is the first time with d3. But how many crickets am i supposed to dust? And where to find i think its the multivitamin he needs! Would love tips from people!

I don't think you dust them too much! I dust them more, but it doesn't mean my way is good...
So I use the same brand as calcium supplement. I use Zoo Med Reptivite with D3. I use Calcium with D3+ multivitamin with D3 two times a month. It means for one day I use this mix for every crickets. The other days calcium without D3.

that calcium brand doesn't appear to cover very finely. You might try a different brand (I like Mineral-O by Sticky Tongue Farms as my vitamin free calcium/mineral powder). But anyways, lightly dust all crickets with the vitamin free calcium. Other type of prey you might dust less often (presumably you are offering a nice selection of feeders, not just crickets)

I currently use repashy calcium plus as the vitamin powder (including D3), original strength, used about once a week. But almost any brand is fine. Use according to the contents and how well you gutload.
